We are very excited to announce that the Lompoc Tavern, formerly known as the New Old Lompoc, will officially reopen to the general public next Thursday, May 16 at 11am at its new home at 1620 NW 23rd Ave. No big party, we’re just opening our doors and hoping you’ll stop in. We think it’s about time for a pint of our big, bitter, hoppy Resurrection IPA!

Tonight we are headed down to Silverton for the Brewer’s Dinner leading up to the Oregon Garden Brewfest which starts tomorrow. We have never been, but the reports promise a beautiful venue with a LOT of really good beer. If you want some help in deciding which to try, check out Jon’s What To Drink beer list over at The Brew Site.

Here we go ’round the Mulberry Bush…tonight’s Tap It Tuesday at 6pm is LIVE: Mulberry. This NW style sour blond ale was barrel aged for six months before additionally aging on dried mulberries for another month. Aromas of sweet candy, white figs and faint citrus notes rise from the glass to greet you. A soft sweetness of cereal notes dance on the palate and lead to a lightly tart and grainy finish. The mulberries impart both the lemon and the cereal notes. Look for a hint of graham cracker to develop as the barrel evolves during the first week. 7.7% ABV, $7.00 Glass, $2.50 Taster.
